It sure is shiny, but something doesn't look right. I'm not denying that you found it, but I think somebody buried something like this:

At $19.95 that's gotta be a repro, right??

 

[ohiowhiteguy]

i'll take 2...can you bury them for me. i've always wanted to dig one up...

Whoa not even a print on it. Im in the process of designing a roving detector which locates only valuable objects, then with the patented DEAD (Detector Extraction Aiding Device) the Rover will automatically insert a tool that will gently extract the object without any hole being dug, or trace of disturbance. It will then move the object to a washing and buffing area, then the object will be move to a 3D laser scanning area where the object will be scanned and stored in digital format for study and record, the object will then be delivered out of the back of the rover hopefully in the same condition as this!!!!

Maybe it is a repro, it looks just like the ine in the pic, how wpuld i tell if.it is a repro ir noy, as it comes up as gold on my detector and not clad.

Pretty cool find. No $50 coins were produced circulation in 1877 by the US Mint.

The coins were never officially minted. The House of Representatives approved Guthrie’s proposal for high-value gold coins, but it didn’t pass the Senate, and the proposal for the Union and Half-Union died. In 1877, most likely as a test die for a similar coin, US Mint engraver William Barber produced two variants on the $50 gold coin, two different sizes of the Liberty head on the obverse, and dated 1877. There is no record when they were produce, however, it likely wasn't 1877. Whether there was renewed interest in the California-proposed coins, or a new project, coin collectors are unsure of the source behind those $50 dies.

The two pattern/trial coins produced are house at the Smithsonian since 1885 and are illegal in private hands.

Copies have been sold on TV and internet for years.

No offense but I doubt this is real or that it was dug.
